Letter: Republican budget proposes big cuts in Medicare funding

As an avid follower of local and national news, I would like to think that my local news should cover the national news better when it is relevant to our community.

I thought it was interesting, and telling, that Republicans such as Posey voted for a budget plan that would cut almost $3 trillion out of Medicare over the next 10 years. I saw no local news coverage.

It is especially interesting because of how many seniors there are in this area. You would think that Posey, hailing from Florida, would understand that his voters would want a representative who is on their side on one of the most crucial issues out there. I hate to use the term out of touch, but it seems to fit very well here.

I have been frustrated with Congress for some time now. As it stands, Posey does not have my vote because I do not trust him to stand up for you and me on Medicare.
